UNAIR NEWS – “To solve problems, multidisciplinary science is needed, or it is called interdisciplinary. This principle is a technological revolution in the Faculty of Advanced Technology and Multidiscipline, Universitas Airlangga, ” stated the Dean of FTMM Prof. Dr. Dwi Setyawan, S.Si., M.Si., Apt. opening the Nanotechnology Webinar and Talkshow: The High-Tech Revolution, Saturday, March 13, 2021. Prof. Dwi said the Nanotechnology Program is one of the first undergraduate programs in Indonesia, at UI and UNAIR.

In virtual zoom meeting, the head of the Nanotechnology Engineering Program (RN) Dr. Apt., Retno Sari, M.Sc. said that in addition to the webinar with Tahta Amrillah, S.Si., M.Sc., Ph.D. and Prastika Krisma Jiwanti, S.Si., M.Sc. Eng., Ph.D as speakers from Nanotechnology lecturers, FTMM held an online poster competition for students. “In schools the term Nanotechnology is still rarely discussed, through this webinar it can be a discussion with speakers who are experts in their fields, with Bu Prastika, a graduate from Japanese university and Pak Tahta who is currently in Japan,” said Dr. Apt., Retno

Starting the presentation, Tahta Amrillah explained that there are around 400 students, 81 students study Nanotechnology Engineering. Tahta said that the lecturers at FTMM are competent and professional lecturers graduated abroad with a doctoral degree.

What can Nanotechnology Engineering students do?

Tahta illustrates the superheroes Ant-Man and Ironman, the application of nanotechnology has been depicted in fictional films. “How to make nanoparticles using organic microorganisms, make gold nanoparticles through chemical reactions, make plant tissues, and make plant extracts smaller,” he said.

What are nanoparticles for?

Nano particles can be used as antipathogenic, antibacterial, applications in the field of cosmetics, biomedicine, green technology application (technology which inserts harmless particles into the body). One of its areas of specialization is the manufacture and application of nano materials to electronic devices.

Where is nanotechnology famous?

Prastika Krisma Jiwanti, S.Si., M.Sc.Eng., Ph.D said, a physicist, Richard P. Feynman, said why a machine is so big and fills the room, why don’t we make it small. The word Nanotechnology itself was introduced by Prof. Norio Taniguchi, 1974. “That’s where nanotechnology finally developed until now,” she explained.

The particle sizes of 1 nm – 100 nm are called nanoscale objects. “In comparison, small objects have a better function than large objects. The large nanoparticles do not have better catalytic properties than the nano-size ones, ” she said.

Benefits of nanotechnology

One of them is the change of large computers to laptops and smaller ones. Then another example is for nanofiltration, dirty water can be cleaned and drinkable. One of the other uses of nanotechnology is solar cells. In the pharmaceutical field, nanoparticles can be used as drug delivery to kill cancer cells. In the sensor research field there is a screen printed electrode.

“Now there are many simple test kits, they’re even made flexible, because fewer materials are used, the price is cheap,” she said. (*)
